2012 Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir

$65.00

Our Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir comes from two small family farms, each less than 2 acres and both at nearly 700 feet in elevation.  After several seasons working with the Wheelers and Hudsons, and the opportunity to learn about their sites, the fruit they produce and their families, we grow more enamored with their uniqueness each vintage, and love lacing them together as they combine to form a substantive and articulate expression of the Eola-Amity Hills. 

Tasting notes: Our 2012 Eola Amity Hills Pinot Noir opens with aromas of brambly boysenberry, spiced cherry and chili powder.  Notes of earth and fruit mingle like cherry pie and beetroot brownies laden with aromatic spices of cinnamon and allspice.  On the palate flavors are savory, steely and bright; dark plum, tobacco and bay leaf move to tayberry, rosemary and thyme.  This wine is succulent and contained, showing elegance and balance with a lingering saline finish.

Finished Chemistry:  13.8% alc, 6.6g/L TA, 3.30 pH
